Here in Dallas, Texas, the audience seems to somehow know when the 
credits will start rolling and about 10% of them are already headed 
out the door just before the credits start to roll.  In a packed 
theater, only about 5% stick around long enough to see the cast, much 
less the post-production company and the colorist.  Only weird people 
stick around to watch the credits.  People who hang on to their seats 
impede the proper flow towards the exits.
